Hi Mise, Yes, that's a very interesting posession of mine that I inherited from my grandfather. It has three parts (the top part is sitting into the 'bowl' at the bottom) and a lid. It has a tap in that half-moon part in the bottom. I believe it came from 'Marianella' which is a residence for brothers/priests. My grandfather worked there one time and must have been given this.

I'm pretty sure it's a holy water font as the part with the tap can be hung on a wall (it has yet to find a more permanent home in our house) so the bowl could be filled. The bowl has a few (badly mended) cracks and the tap has seized up but it's such a lovely piece I could never part with it - even if I have no real use for it!Thanks for asking! S
